I wonder if Raytheon/Beechcraft could be pursuaded to re-start 1900D production with a big enough order? After all, it is basically a super-extended King Air 350 with a stand up cabin, and even uses the King Air 350 tail (with some strakes added...). I don't know if the 1900D had a unique wing, though...but I doubt that Beechcraft destroyed the tooling.

Quoting Arrow (Reply 4): Viking Air of Victoria just put the Twin Otter back into production. I think the last deHavilland model came off the line 30 years ago.

No disrespect 2H4, but how does the Avanti constitute a "Commercial" turboprop? Is it certified under Part 25 Transport Category rules?
Something in my "Commercial Turboprop" senses tells me that it falls into the same category as many other business jets/business aircraft-too expensive per flight hour to operate for self-sustaining scheduled air service
Maybe you can open my eyes here, but I'm not aware of a single operator who is flying it under scheduled service...I know of several fractional ownership or NetJets type operations who have an Avanti or two, though...

Oh, no disrespect taken. I failed to see and/or comprehend that "commercial" caveat, that's all. I blame insufficient coffee intake.

HAL was supposedly making Dornier 228's again in India, though I havent seen one (maybe someone here has) http://www.hal-india.com/exports/dornier.asp
The Beech King Air 200 is still in production with options for commuter interiors.
The Britten Norman Defender (and Islander with turboprops) is still in production I believe
Real pilots fly planes that take and measure oil in gallons
